Rory McDougal Tiki 21 Circumnavigation

"Cookie and crew are safely in Penang after two months of excitement and adventure from the shores of Bali.
Being late in the season, we were again plagued by variable winds and plenty of calms up through the Java Sea and South China Sea to reach Batam Island, situated eight miles south of Singapore. The calms make easy living conditions aboard with ample time to cook bread, pizzas, pancakes and lots of other tasty treats aboard the good ship ‘Cooking Fat’. To keep the expanding belly at bay, I do lots of swimming. It’s a magical experience to be in the blue ocean and be swimming like a dolphin between the slow moving bows of your Wharram."Story
